Drumroll please....

This month, Heidi selected the book Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani. Trigiani, herself a native of Virginia, writes about small-town life in the Blue Ridge Mountains. As members of a small community, we should have a lot to relate to when it comes to the eccentricities of rural life. The Goodreads synopsis reads, "Ave Maria Mulligan is the town's self-proclaimed spinster, a thirty-five year old pharmacist with a "mountain girl's body and a flat behind." She lives an amiable life with good friends and lots of hobbies until the fateful day in 1978 when she suddenly discovers that she's not who she always thought she was. Before she can blink, Ave's fielding marriage proposals, fighting off greedy family members, organizing a celebration for visiting celebrities, and planning the trip of a lifetime—a trip that could change her view of the world and her own place in it forever." Trigiani has received an abundance of praise for her books and the club is excited to become a part of her fanbase.

Our next meeting will be on 8 June 2013 from 1-3 PM in the Ladysmith branch meeting room.
